The draw for the 3rd round of this season’s FA Cup took place earlier this afternoon after. The games will be played over the weekend of 3-4 January 2009.
Last season’s FA Cup runners up, Cardiff City have been drawn at home against fellow Championship side Reading.
Other all Coca-Championship ties include Charlton v Norwich, and the midlands derby between Birmingham v Wolves which proves to be a feisty exciting game; especially after the top two teams in the Championship played out a 1-1 draw at Molineux, yesterday.
A few Championship teams will be looking to cause a shock as they take on Premiership opponents. I would guess Preston v Liverpool or Southampton v Man Utd will be chosen as the televised game.
